Envista Farms has farm sites in Delaware, Chester and Dauphin counties in Pennsylvania. Also, Envista is developing sites in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia. Envista Farms uses the nutrients that are found in the water from the aquaculture facility to bring the much needed minerals to the vegetables.

Envista Farms partners with academic and government institutions to ensure that there exists a trained work force to support this industry.

Aquaponics refers to any system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment.

In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrification bacteria into nitrates and nitrites, which are utilized by the plants as nutrients, and the water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system.
